In October, the weather in the capital had already cooled down. Li Xianglu had another check-up and confirmed that she was expecting twins, who were both very healthy. With only six months of pregnancy, her belly looked as though she was about to give birth any moment.
Li Jianqing had reached eight months of pregnancy, with just over a month until delivery, and her belly was not small either. She had started resting at home since last month, often getting the old man's driver to take her to the quadrangle for a free meal and drink, before her father would pick her up after work in the afternoon.
Sister Xing alone was clearly not enough help. So Xu Wu arranged for a girl around seventeen or eighteen to join in. The girl's name was Leng Qing, and fitting her name, she often kept a cold expression. However, she was very efficient at her tasks, could drive, and even knew some martial arts. Whenever Li Xianglu went out shopping or for walks, she would accompany her.
